Salmon Fillets and Herb Rice

So this morning I got it into my head that I needed to cook the salmon before Jeff left (why would I cook it just for me?). I'd bought some at the market on Saturday. I looked up a few recipes, ran to the store for a few things, and voila! Delicious! As a side, I made some herb and butter rice. Sooooooo full but yummy.

To make the salmon, I greased a baking pan and put the fillets in it. Then I mixed up a sauce--3 tbsps each of butter and lemon juice, 1 and a little tbsps of fresh dill paste stuff, 1 tbsp of sour cream, and a bit of minced garlic--and poured that over the fillets. Added a little pepper, covered it in foil, and baked for 20 mins at 375. It was great! Jeff thought it was a bit too lemony, but I liked it. More of a sour cream base would be interesting; that tasted really good with the dill.

To make the rice, I just boiled 2 c. of water, one tbsp of butter, and one chicken bouillon cube. When it boiled, I added the rice, a little soy sauce, and several random herbs--basil, thyme, chives, a little onion--and cooked for 15 mins. It went really well with the salmon. ^^

Yay for a successful first time cooking fish!
